I keep reading in the liberal print media that Republicans live in a place called "In Denial," but it turns out that Democrats have established their own colony there as well. How else can you explain the 18-month-old racist baby? That's right, a racist baby in Indiana, a toddler (most likely a "sleeper") who was exposed by an Indiana House Democrat during debate over the contentious religious freedom bill. Democrats, please! Protect us from racist babies! Or what of Global Warming Hookers? And how can you explain Hillary Clinton and her liar-liar-pants-suits-on-fire attitude when it comes to telling the truth about anything, including emails on her iPad?...
